Andrea Ehret is an abstract expressionist from Slovak, The Czech Republic. Abstract Expressionism takes inspiration from surrealism and delivers the thought that art ought to be created by spontaneous and subconscious creation. Instead of designing out, sketching and rendering a piece, the creative person follows the flow of the openness of their minds to create. Her art shows how colors affect mood and thought. She follows the trends of the latest abstract art, abstract expressionism, Chinese calligraphy, and contemporary Chinese painting.
“Structures are layered with my internal charges, depicting longing, anger, frustration, softness, wanting and more. My paintings are my world, my dreams, my visions and my circles. I hope when one looks at my paintings, they do not see circles, compositions and colors. They see life, their story; something that will stay with them for a while. I invite my viewers for the spiritual voyage, where everything is possible and perfect harmony exists”, she says. The idea is to share a part of herself with everyone who views the paintings.
Staying true to one self is most required. A person who is true to themselves puts in maximum effort to the works they do which reflects in the artistry. The Instagram handle @andreacircles is brimming with aesthetically pleasing artistry which one can never get enough of. Finding positivity in everything and living in the moment is the motto she abides by. Her favorite artist is Zao Wou Ki who is an abstract expressionist from People’s Republic of China. “I have always been a hard-working artist with a great ability to experiment towards spontaneous techniques and authentic outcome”, she says.
Franz Kafka once said, “I am constantly trying to communicate something incommunicable, to explain something inexplicable, and to tell about something I only feel in my bones and which can only be experienced in those bones.” Her message to the fellow artists is to spend as many hours in your studio as you can. “You can have that special gift of God, you can be the talent of the century, and it is no good if you are not working. Find your unique voice, look for it but never try to steal. If you copy someone, copy to learn, to be inspired and implement that inspiration into your journey”, she says.
Art leaves an effect on the viewers in mysterious ways and therefore communicating through art is the best way to give out significant messages. William C. Seitz, an artist and historian said, “Abstract expressionist value expression over perfection, vitality over finish, fluctuation over repose, the unknown over the known, the veiled over the clear, the individual over society and the inner over the outer.”
